Just Being

Meditation - Inchydoney Island Spa, Eire

It's raining again!  What a wonderful sign for me on my "day off."  Wednesdays are my days off each week.  They are my planned days within the week to just be and delay any unpleasant chores to Thursdays.  The only regularly scheduled event is my lovely yoga class in the evening for an hour - a delightful way to end a day of solitude.  And the rain gives me permission to stay inside and read - my favorite way to relax.  Today I'm going to also try a new recipe for fresh tomato salsa.  I often  cook something on Wednesdays since that, too, is an unusual event for me.  It's fun when it's not for sustenance but experimentation. I bought nice fresh tomatoes,  serrano peppers and cilantro at Whole Foods yesterday in anticipation of the project.   Made my green drink this morning and realized it is so good I could substitute it for my chocolate milk shakes I crave as comfort food often.  Will my mind do that?   Next time I'll try adding organic cacao powder and see how that works.  If I close my eyes perhaps it will taste more like a chocolate shake.  On the other hand, being a nature nut, green is my next favorite food color, next to chocolate brown.  SOOO, we'll see.
